UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,

FREDERIOK=A. BAHR AND DANIEL BAHR OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

DEMIJOHN, 8w.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,951, dated November 8, 1887.

7 Application filed August 24. 1867. Serial No. 247,747. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, FREDERICK A. BAHR and DANIEL BAHR, citizens of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Demijohns, Bottles, and Similar Articles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in the covering of demijohns and other receptacles or vessels, as set forth in the following specification and claim, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of a demijohn, part'of the basket-work being removed. 7 Fig. 2 is a section in the plane at m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3

is a section in the planey y, Fig. 1.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letter A indicates a vessel, such as a demijohn, bottle, carboy, or the like.

B is the basket-work surrounding the vessel.

G is a bottom consisting of a ring or annular piece of material, such as wood. A flange, D, on the bottom 0, Fig. 1, forms a rest or abutment for the basket-work. The bottom 0 is held to the vessel by strands or wires E, passing through channels or recesses F in the bottom 0, and secured in a recess or on a shoulder, G, formed on the side of'the vessel. By 0 passing the strands E through the channels F said strands will be protected as they lie in said channels. The annular bottom 0, while protecting the bottom of the vessel from injury, as seen in Fig. 2, leaves said vessel-bottom free to be exposed to view, which is of great advantage in rinsing the bottle or vessel, as the interior of the vessel can thus be examined to see if the same is clean.

What we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with a bottle or vessel, A, having shoulders or recesses G at its sides, of a bottom, 0, secured to said vessel by strands or wires connected to said bottom and to said shoulders, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof We have hereunto set our hands inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
